**Avalanche** is a blockchain platform that aims to overcome the scalability, security, and decentralization challenges of the blockchain trilemma through its unique Proof of Stake (PoS) mechanism.
Similar to Ethereum, Avalanche supports smart contracts, enabling the execution of decentralized applications (dApps) on its network. Avalanche enhances blockchain interoperability by integrating various decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystems. The use of the Solidity language, which is also used by Ethereum, facilitates this interoperability.
The native token of the Avalanche platform is AVAX, which is utilized for powering transactions within the ecosystem. AVAX plays a vital role in distributing system rewards, participating in governance decisions, and facilitating transactions on the network by covering associated fees.
